twin seaplane
I was looking for a twin engine seaplane, kit or plan. I really want a floating body seaplane not one on floats. I also want a military one. What can you guys come up with

G&P Sales HU16 Grumman Albatross
I can reccomend the G&P Sales Grumman Albatross as I have the kit and hope to start working on it sometime this winter or early spring. I have so many planes and so little time 
But back to the Albatross I am installing a pair of OS 52 Surpass four strokes in mine running two 3 blade 10x6 Graupner grey props. Bill does nice and light but strong glass layups and the plane is very scale. I hope to keep mine below 15 pounds so I will have plenty of power when I am ready to test fly. Mine will not have the scale retracts it will strictly be a float plane. I will have flaps and navigation and landing lights which need to be made to retract and extend from the underside of the wing. I will also have onboard glow for both engines. So I have quite a project ahead of me. I am in contact with two other Albatross owners and one has his done and he says it flys well.
Good Luck Joe
